Taking the Plunge to Self-Employed Consultant

Transitioning from an organized work situation, either executive or employee, can be more difficult than people imagine.  Being on your own as a self-employed consultant requires self-discipline, the skills to market and sell yourself, and the ability to hang in there when it gets tough.    As an employee, you were in a structured environment with company goals and objectives.  It was your job to implement for results and you may have been very good at this.  Now that you are on your own (or considering it), where will this structure and accountability come from?

Likewise, if you are considering consulting after a successful executive career, you may also find the transition difficult.  You have experience in creating a business mission, vision, goals, strategies and objectives but you often delegated that for others to implement.  It was carried out under your direction and you relied on others.  As a solo-preneur, wearing all these hats has taken down many others before you.

This is exactly the reason we have created our Study Action Groups for Transition.   They are designed to help you anticipate and plan for this transition in your life.  Because the challenges of transitioning are different for an employee and an executive, we have one for each of you.

Please visit our Study Action Group page for more information on these Transition groups.  Your investment up-front will pay off huge dividends down the road.
